About: I have the ability to treat your fur babies just as I treat my own- like family. I'm a mom with a son who can be your dog's best stand in pal while you're away. I have a dog friendly vehicle that can take your babies to the park for a nice change of scenery. I also have experience walking larger dogs and puppies that pull on the leash. If your dogs got it, I can handle it! I have deshedding brushes and nail clippers for larger and smaller sized dog if your pup needs a little extra TLC between groomer visits. I also have harnesses in small-large sizes and all kinds leashes adequate for your dog's learning level for on leash walks. I've been around dogs my whole life and know what it takes to become a great, and trustworthy friend for your pup. My schedule is open mainly on the weekends and weekday evenings. Thank you for your consideration ☺️! I'm currently in school full time, so evenings are dedicated family and pet care time for play and dinner with extra potty breaks worked in as needed. Whether you have a yard or not, I am totally prepared for creating a fun and enriching visit for your animals. I have Medium and Large sized Chuck-It toys for fetch, ropes for tug-of-war, and also various types of cat toys for play time. I am capable of keeping your fur babies feeding and potty schedule as normal as possible to minimize their stress while you're away!

About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
“I highly recommend Makayla Pet Sitters! My three dogs received the care and attention they needed, and she kept me posted on my babies. Mayla is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”
“This was the first time we had Robert dogsit for us. We hired him for a 3 night stay and I gotta say he was amazing! He took her for long walks and his 3 little doggies loved our baby! We got lots of updates and pictures. Our baby was smiling in every picture. A lot of other sitters had a stipulation that our dog would need to be in a crate at night but he allowed Layla to sleep on her own bed and move about at will. We highly recommend him and will be hiring him again!!!”

“Peyton did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Bohdi! From the moment we connected, Peyton was professional, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Bohdi can be a bit particular at times, but Peyton handled everything with patience and care, making sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication—it gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bohdi was in such good hands. It’s clear Peyton goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but truly caring for pets as if they were their own. When I returned, Bohdi was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience.

About: I have 3+ years of house sitting for a friend's dog, feeding and water for his dog, and walking his dog twice a day. I have no special skills. I just have myself and a way of bonding with animals that I meet. I am currently unemployed, but currently looking for another full time job. In the mean time, I have the opportunity to walk for fitness for myself, and to take care of your pet walking them too for you. The neighborhood I live in is a safe neighborhood. I hardly read on KBTX about any crime in the area. Also, there is plenty of sidewalks throughout the neighborhood to walk on and no one bothers you while walking.
“She is wonderful with animals and took care of our dog like he was her own; took trips to the park, helped continue his training, showed him lots of love, everything we could've asked for and more. Will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, from volunteering at shelters to bringing in strays (not to my parents liking), I love doing what I can to help. My bestest friend growing up was a beagle named Shiloh who had seven puppies that I helped give birth to when I was nine years old. Ever since then I've spent my summers volunteering at the Animal shelter in south Texas where I would groom, bathe, and walk dogs and have dog/cat sat for friends and families. I am the perfect person to help take care of your special friend while you are away, I am very attentive and would love to go above and beyond to make the both of you happy :-)

About: I have maintained canine companionship since I was three years old!, My personal dogs were entrusted to my care right from the get-go. Since then, I have accumulated more than 25 years of animal care experience. I have also gained invaluable experience during a three-year tenure as a veterinary assistant, where I assumed the role of lead assistant. This professional role has afforded me extensive exposure to the realm of animal care, granting me a wealth of experience from daily care to emergency training. My expertise spans the entire spectrum of canine and feline diversity, encompassing dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Rest assured, I possess the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to administer the care that each fur baby deserves. I am a graduate student in the College Station/Bryan area, working on a Ph.D. in wildlife biology. If I am not in the field conducting research, my schedule is extremely flexible to provide services at times that work best for you and your pets! My approach to caring for clients' pets is entirely guided by the specific preferences and instructions provided by the owners. I am committed to adhering to all the rules and guidelines set forth by the owners concerning the handling and care of their cherished animals.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!
About: I grew up on a small farm, so got to see the full cycle or life across many species. As a teen, I was the go-to pet sitter amongst my mom's co-workers. I've cared for the usual, like dogs and cats, as well as amphibians, crustaceans, birds and livestock! Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I'm a student and mom, and am fortunate to have a good community around me who make taking care of pets possible. I live in walking distance of campus, so can drop in on boarded friends in between classes. My school schedule is broken into nice chunks, allowing me a few hours in between each class to do drop-ins or hang out with my pet-sitting clients. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.
About: I have worked at a boarding clinic since August of 2025. My family and I have lots of dogs that are varying breeds. I have lots of experience with different breeds, sizes, and ages!

Whenever I am not busy I would love to take care of your pets! I like to take my time especially when it comes to a more nervous dog. I deal with plenty of anxious dogs my job, so I like to make sure they’re as comfortable as they can be before advancing into anything.

About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

I also have a doberman that requires more physical and mental stimulation meaning we do puzzles as well as hikes!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have always had big dogs so im not afraid of them. I've pet sit for my friends and family many times and have had no issues at all even with their older dogs that need medicine at specific times or young puppies that are very acccident prone.

About: Hi, I'm Callie! I've cared for dogs pretty much all of my life. I love going on walks, playing fetch and running around with them, or just showing them love! I would love to care for your furry friends! I'm a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible/open! I can rearrange my schedule to work with your necessities!

About: Howdy! I’m a PhD student in medical entomology who brings a calm, detail-oriented approach to pet care. For the past three years, I’ve fostered dogs with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and senior pups who need a little extra patience and TLC. From medication schedules to enrichment and daily walks, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🥰 While my PhD keeps me busy, finding time to walk, play, and care for your pet is something I truly look forward to and see as a refreshing and rewarding part of my routine. My schedule allows for consistent morning and evening care, and I’m intentional about making time for walks, enrichment, and quality attention. My fish keep me company for now, so you can bet your dog will have my full attention! I’m intentional about building trust so your dog still feels at home while you’re away.
About: I have been pet sitting going on four years, but I grew up around animals my entire life. I had the pleasure of growing up with Belgian Malinois, so big dogs do not scare me! My pet sitting experience is vast from anxious pet sitting, specifically for fireworks, reactive pet sitting, senior pet sitting, puppy/kitten pet sitting, multi-pet household sitting, pets with disabilities, holiday sitting, and extended stay pet sitting. I also was a feline foster all throughout college, and was able to find loving homes to more than 21 cats, even picked myself up a foster fail along the way. I absolutely hate when I have to leave my animal for any reason, and finding a pet sitter who will love my pet as if she is their own is extremely important to me, so I understand the need for quality pet care you can trust! I believe we have a responsibility to our furry friends to try and provide the best life possible, and with hiring me, I will ensure nothing but the best care for your babies! I am a PhD student at TAMU, which requires me to have to stay local! That also ensures me a flexible schedule for whatever your pet care wants may entail. I am available every day, weekends especially. I absolutely love animals, I have not known a home without a pet of some kind. My care for your pets will be as laid back or hands on as you would prefer. Growing up with animals that required a more hands on approach, meant that my life has catered around the needs of animals, and you can expect that same quality of care to be extended to your animals. In my personal experience, sending pictures of your furry friends to you are the best way to ensure a peace of mind while you are away. I plan to keep detailed logs of my visits, whether that be a walk, or a drop in, and especially on home stays.
About: I've been pet sitting since I was a kid and have been taking care of animals my whole life! My husband and I have a border collie that means the world to us, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust watching your babies. I am a part-time college student so my schedule is super flexible! I'm sure we can work something out to help care for your pets when you have to leave town! I am definitely willing to be flexible to make sure that your pet's needs are being met while you are gone! As a pet owner myself, your pet's safety and well-being are super important to me!

About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
“I highly recommend Makayla Pet Sitters! My three dogs received the care and attention they needed, and she kept me posted on my babies. Mayla is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”
“This was the first time we had Robert dogsit for us. We hired him for a 3 night stay and I gotta say he was amazing! He took her for long walks and his 3 little doggies loved our baby! We got lots of updates and pictures. Our baby was smiling in every picture. A lot of other sitters had a stipulation that our dog would need to be in a crate at night but he allowed Layla to sleep on her own bed and move about at will. We highly recommend him and will be hiring him again!!!”
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
“My dog and cat did wonderfully with Gisella! They stayed over the weekend and I received plenty of updates with photos. Both my pets require medications and Gisella had no problem with administering them. Gisella and her husband are both very kind and pleasant people and I felt very comfortable communicating with both of them. I will be booking with them again!”
About: Hi! I'm Olga, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with all kinds of dogs, from Miniature Poodles and Labs to four Dachshunds, so caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I have two dogs of my own, Atlas and Gaia, who are fully trained and well behaved. I've also trained them myself, along with helping train a few other family dogs over the years. I currently provide in home boarding and daycare for dogs and treat every pup like one of my own. I pay close attention to their behavior and well being, and I'l always keep you updated about anything I notice, whether it's an upset stomach, diarrhea, resource guarding, unusual behavior, or anything else that may be important. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. 🐾 ❤️ Dogs are already a big part of my everyday life, and I'm home often, so caring for pups fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy having them around and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large backyard where the dogs can run and play, plus a little dog pool for them to cool off and have fun outside. I also enjoy playing fetch, spending time with them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day. I'Il adjust activities based on each dog's energy level and what they enjoy most.
